The elder disciple’s face darkened immediately. “Do you know what this means? This is blasphemy against the immortals! You are a mere mortal. How dare you refuse an immortal’s request?! Are you not afraid that I will send down a thunderbolt and turn you into ashes?”Never did Hailey expect that the people from the Returning Sword Sect would do something as brazen as snatching a civilian woman in broad daylight. So, she screamed for help in a moment of desperation.Smack!The younger disciple was a little nervous and afraid that Hailey’s voice would lure the young sect master out. It would be terrible if they were discovered, so all he could do was slap Hailey in a fit of excitement.How could Hailey withstand the slap?Sent flying, her facial bones were fractured, half of her teeth were knocked out, her nose collapsed, and half of her face was swollen. She was a stunning beauty just now, but the slap had instantly turned her hideous. After landing on the ground, she spat a large m
The sudden appearance of Alex and Luna stunned the two Returning Sword Sect members. They had certainly popped up in a surprising way.However, once they’d taken a good look at Alex and Luna’s apparent cultivation stages, they let their guard down.To them, Alex hadn’t even reached Nascent Soul.On the other hand, although Luna appeared stronger than Alex, she was nothing more than a mere ant to them. They could simply destroy her with a wave of their hands.“How dare you, a mere little Core Formation, butt in on our sect’s issues? Do you have a death wish?” One of the members, five meters away from Alex, said with a fierce expression.Upset, he wanted to finish off Hailey quickly, yet these random people came out of nowhere, obviously looking for trouble. This put them at risk of being found out by their sect leader.“Returning Sword Sect?” Alex looked at Hailey sadly.‘To think that such a beautiful lady would be beaten up like this…’Her last sentence, especially, caused Ale
In the next second, an unbelievable scene took place.Alex’s finger touched the tip of the sword, but it didn’t get pierced. Instead, he managed to stop the attack.The sword was quickly frozen, along with some hissing, turning into an ice sword. The man was instantly frozen into an ice statue by the extreme cold temperature.“What?”“What happened? How is this… possible?”The other man’s pupils shrunk in disbelief. In the next second, he heard a crackling sound, and a fracture appeared on the mystical sword of his partner.It slowly widened until dense cracks appeared on his partner’s body as well.A few seconds later, a loud clang filled the air. His sworn brother’s body, along with his clothes and sword, had broken into crushed ice like it was glass. “Brother?!” The man shouted, his voice shaking. Not only because he’d lost his comrade, but only because he feared Alex.Since they viewed him as a weak Core Formation guy, they never expected Alex to be so deadly. His broth
Boom—Alex looked at the tablet on the lintel. It was an eyesore to him, so he sent out a wave of mystical energy and destroyed it.Just as he was about to walk into the manor, he took another look at the tall gates that were painted red and frowned.“Honey, what’s wrong?” Luna noticed Alex’s expression and asked.Alex replied, “This isn’t the original door. It’s been replaced.”Luna squinted. “If these aren’t our doors, keeping them would only dirty our eyes.”Almost instantly, her devilish instincts took over, and she kicked the doors down.Bang!A loud explosion shook the silence in the air.The two doors exploding from the kick, the powerful Chi sent countless wooden shreds flying in. Even the door frame was destroyed.Alex squinted his eyes. His divine eye activated, allowing him insight into what had happened—A young man in white bought a group of men here.He destroyed their gates with one slash of his sword and swore that Rockefeller Manor belonged to the Returning
At the time, only a few troops were hanging around the gates of Rockefeller Manor.One happened to be a disguised Flying Eagles member, monitoring all movements of the Returning Sword Sect.They witnessed Alex’s return with their own eyes and saw how he killed two Returning Sword Sect members.Their jaws dropped in shock.The Flying Eagles had been beaten into a sorry state, and they had no choice but to hide from them. To be extra cautious while spying on the sect, they had stuck on multiple Camouflage Talismans on their bodies provided by Xerxes to avoid being spotted by the fairies.They were aggrieved yet couldn’t do anything, having just seen an instant kill. Moreover, it happened… just like that, without any warning whatsoever. Alex even held a girl’s hand and kicked down the door.“Quick, report this to the tactician!”“Wait, why do I feel like this girl looks familiar? Where have I seen her…?”“Ah, I remember, isn’t she Principal Henderson’s eldest daughter, Luna…”“
On the other hand, the paparazzi from SwitchTV wouldn’t be that kind and wait for Nightingale to send the footage to the boss.Whoever spilled the news first would naturally get paid first.Thus, when the Flying Eagles called their tactician, Eleanor, the people at SwitchTV had gotten the news about Alex’s survival at the same time.“Alex Rockefeller is actually alive?”“And he charged into Returning Zeal Headquarters?”“This… this is breaking news, right? Should we broadcast it?”Being enemies with Alex, the directors of SwitchTV were a little hesitant. If they broadcast the news on their platform, it would be advertising Alex and cheering him on in one way or another.If that were to happen, Michelle’s platform could recover again. Even though she was dead, the broadcaster could be replaced by many other ‘Michelle's,’ as long as Alex supported them.“Hold it down first. We’ll see how it goes,” the big boss decided. “We’re no longer in America we knew half a year ago. Since Ro
They were still speaking arrogantly, in a high and mighty manner.Seeing who had spoken, Pigsy ducked back nervously and turned to Alex. “Boss, this was the guy who tricked us and poisoned the Mystic Maiden. She wouldn’t have been injured by their sh*tty young master, otherwise.”It paused and whispered secretively, “These guys are pretty good. They’ve learned skills from ancient times. Can you handle them? D*mn it! I don’t know how these sects overcame the laws of the Wastelands. How are they so powerful?”The one leading Returning Sword Sect had clearly heard Pigsy and Alex’s conversation.He laughed and said, “Yeah, I poisoned you, master. What are you going to do about it? Is she not dead yet, huh?”The moment he finished, Alex slapped him across the face.It was way too quick. The man hadn’t even understood what had happened.The man’s body then glowed with an earthen yellow and ocean blue light, two defensive treasures of rather high quality.Besides being shocked, the ma
Alex glanced at Nightingale.He’d actually known of her presence earlier but decided to ignore her. A woman who’d awakened the remaining abilities of her ancestors wasn’t worthy of his attention.“Where’s my mom, Ynes, the Mystic Maiden?” Alex asked Pigsy.“They’re at Mount Dragon-Tiger, with the Flying Eagles.”Alex nodded. “Lead the way.”“Sure thing, boss. Who would’ve known you’d become so powerful after being away for six months. Who cares how ancient those six sects are? We’ll attack them one by one and turn their world upside down. Let’s kill every single one of them.”Pigsy’s words were filled with hatred.This period had been too depressing for him, especially when he had almost died three months ago.Alex looked at Rockefeller Manor, his eyes glinting.Whoosh—Pigsy enlarged itself until it was ten meters tall and allowed Alex and Luna to climb onto its back. At that moment, the formation that Alex had set in front of Rockefeller Manor burst with bright light. Someo
